Dismiss5821 in-depth character profiles from comics, games, movies
Writeups.org is an encyclopaedia of characters in genre fiction — comic books, video games, action movies, etc. It offers illustrated, researched profiles. These also include technical data for role-players. If you need a robust understanding of a character’s abilities, personality, history, etc. this is *the* place to be.
This is the second half of her first character profile, covering her pre-Generation-X career with the X-Men. Like, y’know.
An obscure 1942 enemy of Superman and Lois Lane. Possibly a ghost pirate, but prolly not.
One of our occasional video gaming guides, since I have to take breathers at some points…
This one is about using free Windows speech recognition software to input commands whilst playing video games. This is primarily useful for persons with low or diminished manual dexterity.
A hyper-advanced alien species seen in a 1967 episode of Star Trek, “Errand of Mercy”. Cosmic psionic powers.
A character profile for a sample Diablo III Witch-Doctor Player Character.
This includes a primer to the world and the story of all three games, because that’s how we roll in the Torajan Jungles.
A 1973 Daredevil enemy with great might, created by Moondragon.
As of October of 2018, this profile was overhauled, and then M&M stats for it were revealed to us.
It’s time for the last of our thrice-yearly calls for donation for 2018 !
As always, this call doubles as a summary of what’s been happening on writeups.org (and why) since the previous call.
This first character profile for Jubilee covers her childhood and the earliest years of her career, before Generation X.
The most notable agent of the Penguin in the 1992 Batman Returns movie.
Our Poodle Lady profile has stats for *both* the lady and the poodle ! Aren’t we amazing ?
To spell it out, this is a rather technical article about old-school, Jack-Vance-inspired, early-D&D-style magic in the DC Heroes RPG. Just so we can write up a handful of D&D characters at some point, which probably wasn’t reasonable.
A criminal mastermind with darkness technology. He fought Superman and Lois Lane in 1942.
Those were the days, my friend.
Super-hypnotist, as well as a herald that subtext is dead. Part of The Gang, a convenient four-person team.
As of September of 2018, this profile received transfixing M&M stats. Which concludes our overhaul of the small The Gang character profiles.
A minor, tragic superhuman character seen in Flash comics during the 2000s.
This is a tiny profile, but as of September of 2018 we added in-line M&M stats.
A huge pile of digital comics that covers just about every incarnation of the Doctor. There’s even a bit of exclusive material.
From Humble Bundle, so multi-formats, DRM-free, etc..
Likely the most famous version of Catwoman, as played by Michelle Pfeiffer in the 1992 movie Batman Returns.
Yes, we’re glad that we finally could write her up.
Post-zombie-apocalypse survivor from the TV dramedy series Z Nation. Ex-hippie with robust medical, survival and other skills (and a big mouth).
This is one of the small video game guides we occasionally do as a side effect of research. There’ll be a character entry involving the Oni-Goroshi sword at… some point.
This writeup about procuring a specific item in a specific game (Path of Exile), and the process is a royal pain in the keister. So it’s not a general interest article.
One of the notable enemies of the Justice Society of America during the 1940s – there aren’t that many, really.
He’s a cliché yet he works pretty well.
A fleshed out example Player Character from the Grim Dawn video game, using a big shotgun and a fiery circle of power.
Can be useful in quite a few steampunk and/or post-apocalyptic contexts. Or if you need a haircut.

Super-strong. Part of a convenient team.
As of September of 2018, the capsule writeups for The Gang (that’s the convenient team) are receiving M&M stats that’ll cater your pillar.
This covers all sorts of fighting shields, from small hardwood stuff to wheeled ballistic SWAT contraptions to force shields.
As of September of 2018, this article was spun off the technical article about shields use. It also received a fair bit of new material, such as ballistic polycarbonate. That was a joke.
Tom’s take on this classic Street Fighter hard-fighting mutated man-beast. As of September of 2018, this profile was revisado e melhorado.
You’d rather come back with your shield than on it ? Then you totally need this extensive article about wielding shields in the DC Heroes RPG.
As of September of 2018, this article was revised for style and clarity. It is also getting split into two parts. This part is the rules discussion, the second part is about the shields themselves.
The dysfunctional rats whisperer played by Crispin Glover in the remake of the 1971/72 originals.
Not suggested for musophobic readers, I reckon.

Class 40 strong guy. Part of a convenient, under-developed team.
